The new covenant in Christ doesn’t just cover sin temporarily—it transforms hearts and brings complete forgiveness forever. In this message, “The Superior Covenant” from Hebrews 8:7–13, Pastor Ryan Skolrud unpacks how God Himself promised a new and better covenant that would do what the old covenant, weakened by our sinful hearts, could never do. You’ll see how Jeremiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus: God writes His law on our minds and hearts, gives us new hearts by the Spirit, forgives our wrongdoing, and “remembers our sins no more,” making us His people rather than His enemies.
This sermon will help you understand why religious effort and law-keeping can’t save us, why we desperately need grace, and how the new covenant moves us from external rules to an internal transformation rooted in Christ’s finished work. Whether you’re weighed down by guilt, confused about the Old vs. New Covenant, or longing for assurance of God’s forgiveness, you’ll be invited to turn from self-reliance to the Savior who makes us new creations and reconciles us to God.
